Work Party was awesome, 20+ people came and helped, got some serious wood chipping done but far from done. 5 alt pins were put in and 14A, the easy peasy hole got dug out and moved to an interesting pin placement. Cant wait to put them into effect. There will be 1 more work party before the tournament. Don't miss this tournament!

5 new pin placements went in last weekend at the course. The layouts will be awesome for the tournament.

These are the trophies for the tournament. Also those TD's out there wanting bad ass trophies from the NW, this guy Gary does them cheap.
Sign up people, i take cash in hand.
Also hole sponsorships go a long way to help us out.

almost all of our top pros won at least 3 adv before moving up... I've only won small tourneys, not big ones.

"Top Pros" being the key phrase here. If the standard was win three in MA1 before moving up the pro field would be eight "top pros". I'm not saying you should move up Snap, I'm just sayin'. It's sad to see guys winning big tournaments in MA1 or consistently placing in the top ten, and still coming back year after year without moving up.

Trophies are bad axxed! The discs are going to be awesome!
The layouts will be super awesome! Dont miss out!
Hole sponsorships will help this tournament in a great way, so if you can't come play, but want to help the tournament fundraise and be a great success, hole sponsorships are the way to go. Anyone who sponsors a hole gets the 10mm hard laminated sign after the tournament to keep.
$20 for 1 hole, $30 for 2 holes, $50 for 4 holes.

A lot of work has gone into this course over the past 6 months, and more is coming in the following weeks leading up to the May 14-15 tournament. The course will be closed basically from Memorial weekend to Labor day weekend due to summer camps. Get your rounds in now! Will be rotating the baskets on a weekly basis the whole month of may.. As you can see two reviews on dgcoursereviews have been updated to reflect the improvements on the course over the last 6 months. If only cefire could get up here soon...

Pros: This is great place for hearing impaired youth. For the purpose of a camp activity and getting kids involved, this course rocks. There were nice signs and spray painted arrows letting people know where the next tee was. The caretaker has done a nice job of clearing the fairways. It has a lot of ace runs, and I find that fun, once in awhile. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This place has really improved over time. The course "Pro" has really put a lot of work into making this course fun for disc golfers. With alternate baskets he has added over 1,000 feet. This area of Oregon is densely wooded, but the course is clear and well maintained (just keep it in the cleared fairways).

Cons: Advanced to pro players will find that it is a fun course to work on the mid-range game. There is no point in bringing all your discs, it can easily be done with five. If not your mid and a putter. I do think that if they have
tournaments out there, they should have some alternates set up. There are definitely some holes that would have to be lengthened.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BAM, they did all that!... I think the caretaker was listening. bring your full bag! The only con during my round was the inconsistent weather. We had rain, sun, and hail during our short 18 hole round. That's Oregon.

Other Thoughts: Like I said in the beginning, It is a fun place for the kids. They won't have to throw a whole lot, and can have fun. Experienced golfers will wish for more. The course could be a lot more challenging. For instance I am an OK advanced player and shot a -4 the first round and -8 the second time around. All in all, it was scenic and fun with all the ace runs.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a course where a seasoned golfer could come out and shoot -10 and the next day shoot a +5. You really need to hit your lines to shoot well. It's not a forgiving course, but it's very playable. I had some really cool birdies, a few bogies and my third ACE....Make the drive, it's worth the trip.
